Police in anti-gun states...Same limits as citizens?

Many gun companies are announcing new policies to limit sales to law-enforcement agencies in anti-gun states to only the items that the regular citizens in that state are allowed to own.

Position 1: Law enforcement officers have a very difficult and demanding job that can be very unsafe. They should be able to have access to any and every firearm product they need. Police should be exempt.

Position 2: Law enforcement is an arm of the state and should never be allowed to be more powerful than the general public. They should only have access to the same firepower that the citizenry has access to. Police should have the same limits.

Position 2. They should not be exempt. We the citizens need to be just as armed as our government. If a state feels like they need to limit magazine capacities for "the greater good" then by golly, so should the police for the same reason. What if a cop goes rogue? Then they have an advantage over a citizen who only has 7 rounds

seems like one did go rogue in California, just a short while back. LEO's are not any different than anyone else. they can have the same mental illness' as the rest of us. they will bleed the same blood as we do when shot. everyone deserves the same consideration.

if the citizens are limited to certain restrictions in a state, then so should LE in that state.

You just have to laugh at the Left Wing New York Officials. These decedents of the Witch Burners and their new gun laws? It seems these recipients of weak DNA are already changing their new guns are evil laws.
They have discovered there are no 7 shot magazine. So, they will now allow 10 shot magazines. However it will be illegal to load more than 7 rounds in the 10 shot Mags.
New York will now be faced with a new challenge. New York must now find civil service employees that can count to 7 .

In Merry old England in the 19th century a board showed where the officer was at any time. Police were called Constables. If an officer was walking his beat the board was marked C.O.P. after his name. Constable on Patrol.
We do not want our police disarmed. The American civil police are uniquely American. In other nations the police are Federal enforcing local laws. The American Police are a product of local militia answering to the local elected governments. This with all its faults is a very good system of enforcement.

I disagree. I think it does more harm than good. War on drugs. Lack of prosecution of violent criminals. Need I say more?

If I'm not mistaken in the second amendment it states that we have the right to bare arms against foreign invaders or STATE... translation ... we are permitted to have weaponry that could stand agisnt a states possible aggression.

Be very careful in your condemnation of local police. The World Socialist movement dating to Karl Marx has encouraged the disbanding of local police forces.
In every nation where the Communist movement has prevailed the local police and citizens were disarmed. The nation is then controlled by one central government and Federal police only.
Blaming local police for a law that you do not like really requires more thought and study.
